Commercial Description:
Bottle; Unfiltered.
Also available from Wetherspoons in casks.
"This full-tasting, but deceptively drinkable, amber ale has a good fruitiness and a nice hop edge which tempers the caramellised malt. It is clean and precise, within an almost perfect balance of Challenger and Goldings hops.
The recipe has its origin in the 14th century. The present version is a little more heavy and contains more hops. The balance between the different malts, the fine hops and typical tastes of spices creates a perfect harmony between the powerful taste of brown beers and the freshness of the blond beers. This fresh aromatic and pithy light-brown drink can be served cool.

An amber beer with a huge slightly pink head. The aroma is spicy and hoppy - I pick up coriander, figs, and oranges. The flavor is sweet woody with a herbal note mixing in with som fruit, where I pick out oranges. The mouthfeel is very smooth, and the end woody dry.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy, warm nutty brown with an off-white head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, diacetyl and alcohol. Fairly full-bodied, some roasted malt and fruit. But this really lacks some complexity to rise above mediocracy. 110507

Cloudy amber. Thin head. Fruity nose (plum, medicinal pear). Very sweet, candyish, with light fruits. You’ve got to be in the mood for sweet.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy/muddy orange to brown with a colapsing off-white head. Metallic malty, spiced and yeasty aroma. Classic belgian carbonated mouthfeel. Flavour has some dried plum, raisin and figs in a sweet malty flavoured blend. There are classic belgian yeast notes too. A minor metallic note can be sensed in the beginning but disappears again. Finish has a mild bitterness and is dominated by dried fruit notes and a minor herbal note.
